This is the only children's adventure area we've found
in the Thames Valley where you can get more for veggies and vegans
than chips and beans. And these places never let you bring your own
food, so this place is your solution, as kids always get hungry
before you can drag them away!

On top of that the Mad House actually has daylight flooding in,
so is relatively light and airy, though no doubt it gets pretty
stuffy when packed at weekends. The play areas are really well
thought out, fun and clean. Best for 1-8 year olds, though they say
up to 10. If you have kids of several ages, you'll be able to
keep an eye on them in each of the sections from the cafe area,
unless you are being dragged around with them of course (which is
quite fun).

They actually reckon to do healthy food. We'll leave you to
judge that, but they are certainly trying much harder than
most.

The pasta is egg free, and you can have it with tomato &
basil & oregano, or Mediterranean vegetables. There are both
Indian and Thai vegetable curry options, which would be worth
asking how veggie/vegan they are. Check out the salad bar too -
though my toddler didn't want me to spend much time looking
rather than playing so I can't report on that yet. There are
jacket potatoes, and the ubiquitous chips and beans. I think they
have a vegetable chilli for their quesedilla, though you'd need
to check the ingredients, and other items. It might be worth
bringing them some melting Cheezly to show what's possible for
dairy free kids.

There are comfortable sofas, but the best place for
breast-feeding is in the ball pool in the toddler section - being
relatively private and irresistibly comfortable.

Party sessions are also possible, where you have your own meal
room. The "toy room" one is the nicest party room because
it has windows. They have chefs for the party food who can deal
with all kinds of special diets with good notice, and they pride
themselves on this. The staff member showing me round wasn't
even fazed when I said "vegan".
